Naruto followed his movements. Other than his looks there was something about him that was familiar. Like Naruto should know him but didn't. Like something was blocking his mind from remembering something vitally important about this man and why they looked so alike.
"My name is-" He started.
"Naruto." The man murmured huskily finishing for him coming to a standstill his whole body tensing. Naruto nodded even more confused.
His eyes turning shocked, the coldness seeping out to become wide and glassy as if he had gotten lost in his own dream world pulled away from reality.
Naruto looked at him getting worried, wondering what the hell was going on. His head started to hurt like a bitch as he thought harder and harder. What couldn't he remember?
Abruptly the man snapped out of it. He stood there in stunned silence his head down his expression hidden in the hair that had fallen around him, before he moved forward toward Naruto with ground eating strides.
Naruto couldn't force his body to move as the man came to stop abruptly right in front of him. He was frowning fiercely as if trying to figure something out, the answer just out of reach.
The man lifted his hand and to Naruto's shock it was trembling. He went to touch him then hesitated like an invisible shield coated his body stopping him from touching him.
Naruto lifted his own hand curious at what he might do. The mysterious man looked at it for a moment before putting his own hand up against it slowly, palm to palm, fingers to fingers.
An electric jolt struck Naruto down to his very core; every part of him shuddered and burst open like a raw deep life threatening wound forcibly cut painfully opened again.
And just like that everything came flooding back.
The feel of another sharing his safe haven of warmth and protection cocooning them. The sound of his own cries mingling with another in a cacophonous cry of fear as they entered into a new foreign world. The feeling of never being alone cuddled him like a warm blanket. Flashes of the same blue eyes staring back at him burst into his mind as they rested upon some sought of alter. His father stood over them tears in his eyes, his yellow hair blowing in the wind that was laced with a heavy power as his hand came down. Then the pain, severe and fierce in his stomach as he was crammed full with the power that consumed him and moulded to his very soul.
Then all of a sudden he was alone, the blue eyes were nowhere to be found and his pain filled howls no longer chorused with another. He was completely and utterly alone, the comfort seeping from his soul leaving a cold dark place. The feeling was so raw and painful he wanted to do anything to escape the pain. So he had pushed the memories back into the deepest recesses of his mind. Until now.
As the skin of his twin brother brushed his own, his familiar smell filled his senses changed yet the same. And suddenly the crushing loneliness of knowing that some important element missing was gone. He felt…complete.
Naruto stared at the man in a new light their unbreakable twin bond born again, their eyes catching each other and holding a communication neither of their understood forming between them. The severed strings of their bond that had ached for their counterpart for a lifetime moulded once again together irrevocably blending into one. Their hearts stuttered then beat in synchronicity their breath heaved to the same rhythm as something clicked on an elementary level.
